The Situation*
Dewoy Im? sent homo his report.?
He oaine, ho saw, he conquered. Ar
rived at Mlnila he attacked the Span
ish Fleet, and in two hours destroyed
It (eleven vsssels) the Spanish having
?100 killed and a largo number wounded.
Devrey has possession of the forts and
with a force can take possession of
the Islands. A sufllcient force will be
aent him from San Francisco to make
him master of the situation. Dowey
has been made an Admiral, the high
est naval rank. The completeness
of the victory is unprecedented in
modern naval warfare. The Spanish
Kingdom is demoralized, and the end
of the present dynast,, may come by
revolution. The Spanish home Meet is
probably in Spanish waters. The Is
land of Cuba is Invested i>y our ships
and unless the Spaniard can send a
Heel to clear the waters of American
ships the Spanish army in Cuba must
soon he starved out and forced to sur
render. It is probable that San Juan
on the Island, I'orto Rico, has been
taken by Commodore Sampson's Heel
und thus Spain will he deprived of a
coaling station should she send a licet
to American waters.
in the meanwhile, a force may be
sent from Tampa to co-operate with
the Cuban insurgents and thus invest
Havana by land as well as by sea. In
this case t here may be some lighting
in Cuba. Kit/. I. and doe Wheeler
are now Major Generals of Volunteers,
and it is probable that I,ee will be one
of the commanding oHicers of the in
vading forces.
It is more than probable, however,
that revolution will occur In Spain,
the Queen Regent ami the eleven year
old King be driven from Spain, a new
government of a military character
established and an end come to the
war by a concession of the [ndepcti
dence Of Cuba and American demands
satisfied' It is evidently the policy
of the United States to force the
lighting and end the war quickly and
it is now so evident that the material
resources arc so greatly on the Alneri
can sido, we can hope lor an early
end of the trouble.
Latest.? The Spanish licet is report
ed in West Indies Waters ami a collis
sion with Sampson's fleet reported to
the disadvantage of Sampson. It came
by "grapevine" ami is not credited, Of
course we must have some beating.
That anything should be sweet there
must be some sense of salt.

Tho genial Editor of the Abbovllle
Medium has boon to Washington and
writes to his paper observations on his
travels. Hero is something of Green
ville people:
There are many agreeable people in
Groonvllle and we met sevorai of them
during our short stay. First of thot>o
whs W. W. Hall, editor of tho Daily
News who strolled into the Mansion
11 ouso to pick up an item for his pa
per. Like othor Groouvllle people ho
thinks the town is growing and is
hoprfui und contented with the sltua
t on. This state of mind hus so lnllu
enced his eonduot tbatGonzales speaks
of him as "Holy Willie'" We called
on Col. James A. Hoyi and found Miss
Huberts his capable book-keeper tak
ing euro of his business. It is always
so that whuii a man can secure a com -
potent woman to manage for him ho
always has leisure to entertain his
friends.
Wo also saw Hon J. A. McCullough
who was so much talked of as a possi -
bio candidate for Governor on tho so
called Prohibition ticket, lie had the
good sense not to allow tho use of his
name among tho "sissers."
senator Dean called at tho Mansion
II0U8O and wo were delighted to meet
him. Many of his constituents wish
to Bond him to Congress, but ho ha*
not given his consent to make tho
race. Ho la in every respoet qualified
for the position.
Arrived at Washington he mot an
old-timer of South Carolina:
When wo reached tho city we went
to the Metropoliten Hotel and as wo
went to tho desk to register our names
we found Hon. T. J, Mackey for a long
time a familiar figure in South Caro
lina, lie I- applying for a placo as
Captain of engineer* In the United
Slates Volunteer army and showed us
a recommendation for the place signed
by tho South Carolina Senators and
Representatives, They say he is well
quail Hod for the position and they
earnestly ruquoat his appointment.?
He wished us to go with him to call on
Goneral Miles and see the new styles
of guns. Judge Mackey says he has
been to Cuba and is perfectly familiar
with Morro Castle having been all over
it and examined it minutely. He
knows the location of the magazines
and othor important facts a* to the
strength of the fortifications In gen
eral at Havanna.
